He sure looks trustworthy, doesn't he? With that grandfatherly beard and that spark in his eyes... Tell us a story, uncle Fidel. Will you?

Well, one story uncle Fidel might tell is of his ancestry. You see, he says that he is descendant from marranos: Spanish Jews who converted to escape persecution. So if you go back, back, back,... back, back, back in Castro's family tree, you might just find a Jew. Who converted. But a Jew nonetheless.

Sounds plausible, be it a tad far-fetched. So should we trust Castro? What if he doesn't agree with the verdict? We don't live in Cuba, so it's not like he can throw us in jail...
